I understand where you're coming from in regards to your black friend, especially when you see some of the backlash from BLM supporters calling people racist and white supremacists for merely stating statistics. The truth can be ugly and difficult to swallow, but it's still the truth and it will ultimately set you free
As a black man, I hate when other black men use the racist cards for trivial things. It happens a lot. That said, I will have to repeat what Dan's friend said: "You wouldn't know unless you're black".
In recent years, there have been stories of convicts cleared of their crimes with the help of new DNA based evidences. A majority of these former convicts are African Americans (http://www.innocenceproject.org/dna-exon...ed-states/). How do you explain this? I believe there are many more innocent people in prison who make up this "statistics".
Confront your problems. Walk away from BS. Seek wisdom to know the difference.
